Definitions

  • the invention relates to an energy storage module for a device for supplying voltage, particularly of a motor vehicle, comprising a plurality of prismatic storage cells which, stacked in at least one row, are arranged behind one another and braced between at least two end plates by means of at least one tie rod or a wrapping.
  • the invention further relates to a method of producing an energy storage module.
  • a plurality of energy storage modules is mostly used for the drive of the vehicle, for example, of electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles.
  • a respective energy storage module typically consists of several stacked prismatic storage cells.
  • the individual storage cells contain electrochemical cells of the battery.
  • the stack of individual storage cells is usually braced by means of a mechanical end plate and tie rods to form the energy storage module.
  • the end plates and tie rods especially have the purpose of counteracting a deformation by the change or increase of the internal gas pressure during the operation of the electrochemical cells of the storage module arranged in the interior of the modules.
  • the end plates and tie rods of the conventional energy storage modules are usually produced by means of the extrusion process from steel or aluminum.
  • the production of such so-called extruded sections is connected in this case with high production-related expenditure and the resulting high costs.
  • Extruded sections for energy storage modules can therefore not be cost-effectively produced on a large scale.
  • Conventional extruded sections for energy storage modules further have the disadvantage that they are heavy because of the material properties of the used material, which has a disadvantageous effect on the total weight of the motor vehicle.
  • the materials forming the extruded section, such as steel or aluminum are electrically conductive, so that an insulating layer is required between the individual storage cells and the tensioning device, in order to prevent electric couplings between the storage cells. The providing of such insulating layers is costly and increases the manufacturing expenditures of the energy storage module and thereby the costs for its production.
  • an energy storage module for a device for supplying voltage, particularly of a motor vehicle comprising a plurality of prismatic storage cells which, stacked in at least one row, are arranged behind one another and braced between at least two end plates (also called pressure plates) by means of at least one tie rod or a wrapping.
  • At least one of the end plates has a layer structure of at least three layers, and/or the tie rod consists of a composite-fiber material.
  • one end plate respectively is mounted on the respective face side of the stacked cells disposed at the end, so that the energy storage module comprises two end plates.
  • one end plate may also consist of several individual plates, in which case then, according to the invention, at least one of these individual plates has a layer structure of at least three layers and/or the tie rod consists of a fiber composite material.
  • this layer structure comprises at least three layers, whereby a sufficient stability of the end plate is ensured with respect to a compression deformation. Additional layers may be provided.
  • the layers may be formed of different materials which comprise metals or alloys, such as steel and also synthetic materials, in which case the respective layers may all or partly be made of the same material or in each case of different materials. Suitable materials can be combined with one another, possibly with the aid of fastening elements or adhesive components.
  • such a layer structure has the advantage that the stability of the end plates can be adjusted in a targeted manner corresponding to the demands, and furthermore, an effective weight reduction of the net weight of the end plate and therefore of the energy storage module is achieved.
  • the bracing may also take place by way of conventional tension elements, which are particularly designed in the form of tie rods.
  • the end plates of the energy storage module according to the invention may be braced by way of at least one tension element, particularly a tie rod or a wrapping.
  • the number and shape of the tension elements depends on their individual design.
  • one tie rod or, for example, several tie rods may be provided which connect (brace) the end plates to one another which are mounted on the face side on the exterior storage cells.
  • such a tie rod may be made of metal, for example, of steel or aluminum, and has a shape that permits a permanent connection and bracing of the storage cell module comprising storage cells and end plates.
  • the tension element is constructed as a tie rod; however, advantageously, the tie rod may also be formed of a fiber composite material.
  • Fiber composite materials are known from the prior art. As a rule, they comprise a matrix material and corresponding fibers, the fibers being present in the matrix material in a predominantly homogenously distributed fashion, which contributes significantly to the stability of the fiber composite material. Because the net weight of the fiber composite material is lower than that of conventional metallic materials, the use of a tie rod made of fiber composite material reduces the weight of the energy storage module and thereby increases the suitability of the energy storage module according to the invention for motor vehicles produced, for example, as lightweight constructions.
  • a wrapping in the sense of the invention is a type of wrapping of the storage cell module with suitable materials which cause a stable connection between the storage cell stack and the end plates, so that the energy storage module will meet the necessary stability demands; i.e. it counteracts the deformation caused by pressure changes in the interior of the storage cell during the operation.
  • Such wrappings may, for example, be implemented by means of metal strips, fiber materials or wires.
  • both end plates of the energy storage module have a layer structure of at least three layers.
  • the weight reduction of the energy storage module according to the invention is thereby increased multiple times.
  • the production expenditures and therefore the costs of the energy storage module according to the invention are thereby also reduced.
  • the layer structure of the end plate is a sandwich-type structure, which comprises a first and a second outer layer and at least one inner layer, the first and second outer layer surrounding the inner layer and at least one outer layer or at least one inner layer consisting of a fiber composite material.
  • fiber composite materials are known from the prior art.
  • the inner layer is formed of an injection-molding material containing fibers, and particularly of a thermoplastic material, the fibers preferably being short fibers which are homogeneously distributed in the injection-molding material.
  • a homogeneous distribution of fibers in the sense of the invention is also a diffuse distribution, in which the fibers are arranged in all directions, thus anisotropically, however, the fiber density being essentially the same in all regions of the respective layer.
  • the respective outer layers can be formed of conventional metals, such as aluminum. The layers are mutually connected in a conventional manner, as required, with the aid of fastening devices.
  • both outer layers and the inner layer as well as, if required, additional inner layers of the end plate of the energy storage module consist of a fiber composite material.
  • This further reduces the weight of the energy storage module and, in addition, simplifies the production of the end plate because layers of fiber composite materials can be connected with one another particularly easily and well and without any high technical expenditures, whereby the stability of the end plate of the energy storage module according to the invention is clearly increased. This predominantly applies to identical fiber composite materials as well as to different fiber composite materials.
  • the end plate according to the invention preferably has a three-layer structure, in which the respective outer layers are formed by a fiber composite material, which has unidirectional long fibers in a preferably thermoplastic matrix material, the inner layer surrounded by the outer layers being formed by short fibers embedded in a preferably thermoplastic injection molding material.
  • the presence of short fibers is not absolutely necessary but increases the stability of the inner layer by the diffuse arrangement of the short fibers.
  • all three layers have the same matrix material and, in particular, the same thermoplastic matrix material. This simplifies the production of the layer structure, thus the laminating of the layers, and results in a particularly good stability of the three-layer structure.
  • the different layers can be mutually connected, if necessary, with the aid of conventional fastening devices or adhesive materials.
  • the inner layer is formed of an injection molding material, this layer may also have an inherent structure and therefore does not have to have a planar design but can advantageously also have a type of wavy structure, which provides the end plate with additional stability with respect to deformation forces acting upon it.
  • the end plates as well as the tie rod consist of a fiber composite material.
  • the fiber composite material of the end plates and of the tie rod may be the same material or different materials, preferably the same fiber composite material.
  • the wrapping comprises an additional element, which at least partially surrounds the stacked storage cells as well as the end plates, and a fiber composite material, in which case the fiber composite material at least partially surrounds the additional element.
  • a wrapping is provided as an alternative to the use of a tension element or tie rod.
  • an additional element is placed around the cell module comprising stacked storage cells and end plate, which additional element surrounds the cell module at least partially. This additional element forms a stable base for the fiber composite material to be added later, so that the fiber composite material will not get between the stacked cells, and furthermore, a sufficiently stable bracing of the energy storage module according to the invention will be ensured.
  • Suitable additional elements comprise, for example, possibly structured metal plates or metal sheets, which may also be constructed in several layers, duromeric or thermoplastic synthetic sections, such as duromeric honeycomb cores or thermoplastic deep-drawn sections. These additional elements may surround the cell module completely or only partially. This depends on the required stability and size of the energy storage module, thus, also on the pressure created in the interior of the storage cells during the operation of the energy storage module, and can take place in the suitable size and shape corresponding to the used material. In this case, a partial surrounding of the cell module by the additional element reduces the costs of the energy storage module. It is further provided that the additional element is at least partially surrounded by a fiber composite material.
  • the latter may be wrapped or wound around the additional element and thereby also around the cell module in the form of a mat or a band and is provided with a matrix material which penetrates and/or surrounds the fiber structure, and thus contributes to the sufficient stability of the wrapping.
  • the fiber material preferably is a roving or a fiber band made of several individual fibers which, before being wrapped around the additional element, is dipped into a bath containing the matrix material.
  • the matrix material is a thermosetting plastic
  • the energy storage module according to the invention is hardened after the completion of the wrapping whereby the thermosetting plastic obtains its final shape and stability, in which case, the hardening of the thermosetting plastic takes place by means of conventional methods, for example, by means of light curing or thermosetting.
  • the latter is heated to its melting point or softening point, whereby it softens sufficiently and adheres to the fiber band (or roven) pulled through the bath. The hardening takes place by cooling the wrapped energy storage module.
  • the wrapping may also takes place such that an already pre-wrapped fiber structure provided with matrix material is stretched, for example, under the effect of heat and is put over the energy storage module or a provided additional element.
  • the fiber composite material for the end plate and/or the tie rod and/or the wrapping has a thermoplastic matrix with fibers or a duromeric matrix with fibers.
  • Such fiber composite materials are easily available in the desired hardness or elasticity and are distinguished by low cost and, in addition, by insulating properties, whereby, as a rule, insulating layers between the individual storage cells as well as the storage cells and the tie rod will not be necessary, which clearly causes a simplification of the production and therefore also reduces the manufacturing costs.
  • these materials have a low net weight in comparison to current extruded sections and are easily workable by means of conventional devices without any high technical expenditures, which keeps the production costs of the energy storage module according to the invention low.
  • the fiber composite material is distinguished by a thermoplastic matrix with fibers, because, as a result of their melting capacity, thermoplastic materials can be worked particularly easily and nevertheless provide a sufficient stability.
  • a thermoplastic that is particularly preferred because of the low cost and the good availability is polypropylene (PP).
  • the fibers of the composite material for the end plate and/or of the tie rod and/or of the wrapping are selected from glass fibers, carbon fibers, mineral fibers, such as basalt fibers, plant fibers, as, for example, cellulose fibers or hemp fibers, ceramic fibers, such as mullite fibers or SiC fibers, steel fibers or synthetic fibers, as, for example, polypropylene fibers, nylon fibers or aramid fibers or mixtures thereof.
  • the fibers can be selected depending on the demand profile. Glass fibers are particularly preferred because they are characterized by high stability, good availability and electrically insulating properties. In addition, glass fibers can be obtained at reasonable cost in the necessary stability grades.
  • the fibers may be present as long fibers or short fibers, long fibers clearly increasing the stability of the fiber composite material. Furthermore, the fibers may be unbound, thus be present as a disperse distribution in the matrix material. However, the fibers are at least joined to form fiber bundles or even fiber mats, weaves, knits, wovens, nonwovens and the like, because the stability of the fiber composite material is thereby increased multiple times.
  • the energy storage module according to the invention is further advantageously characterized in that the fibers are unidirectional fibers.
  • the fibers are present in the fiber composite material in a manner aligned in a preferred direction. This increases the stability of the fiber composite material precisely in this direction.
  • the fiber composite material, which has unidirectional fibers is advantageously arranged in the loading direction, because the tensile strength of the fibers can thereby most efficiently counteract possible deformations as a result of the pressure change in the interior of the storage cells during their operation.
  • the end plates and/or tie rods of the energy storage module according to the invention have fastening elements and/or floor fastening elements.
  • Fastening elements are used for connecting the end plates with the tie rod.
  • Floor fastening elements are used for fastening an energy storage module, for example, with the surrounding housing of the energy storage module.
  • Such fastening elements or floor fastening elements may, for example, be eyes, feet, ribs, lugs, notches, rivets or grooves.
  • a durable stable connection between the tie rod and the end plate can be provided in a simple manner.
  • fastening elements are preferably an integral part of the component to be fastened (for example, the tie rod or the end plate), which is particularly made possible by the use of synthetic materials or fiber composite materials as the tie rod and/or the end plate.
  • Integrated injection-molded-on fastening elements increase the connection with the surrounding components and thereby ensure sufficient stability of the energy storage module in its environment even under the influence of mechanical forces, as they are transmitted during the intended use of the energy storage module.
  • the fastening element or floor fastening elements may be designed in any form, for example, as eyes, ribs, clips, lugs or bolts, and in any number. At least floor fastening elements are preferably provided at least on each floor-side corner of the energy storage module according to the invention. Fastening elements or floor fastening elements can easily be integrated in the corresponding component by means of current injection molding processes, whereby the production costs of the energy storage module and the technical expenditures for its production and thereby also its costs are considerably reduced.
  • the production of the energy storage module according to the invention can be more easily and more comprehensively automated, which prevents the occurrence of faults during the implementation and further also contributes to the lowering of production costs and to an increase in production.
  • the end plates are mutually connected with the tie rod or several, thus more than two, tie rods by screwing and/or upsetting and/or welding and/or by means of at least one clip, and/or by means of a reshaping, in which case a tie rod reaches behind and/or reaches around, for example, an end plate.
  • Suitable screwing devices are known from the state of the art. Wing screws have been very successful.
  • the wing screw is guided through an eye provided, advantageously integrated, for example, in the end plate or in a first tie rod, as well as through an eye provided, advantageously integrated, in another tie rod, and screwed onto the end side by means of a wing nut, which clearly reduces the production-related expenditures, because a mounting of fastening elements is at least partially eliminated.
  • a screwed connection ensures a permanent connection of the components.
  • the tie rods may also have an upsetting deformation around at least a portion of the end plate or of a first tie rod, usually around at least a lateral edge, and be connected with it in this manner. In this case, upsetting deformations have the advantage of not requiring additional fastening elements.
  • tie rods can be welded to one another or also to end plates.
  • Conceivable welding processes comprise ultrasonic welding, laser welding and friction welding. The suitable welding process is selected in coordination with the used materials.
  • a welded connection ensures a permanent connection of the end plate with the tie rod or of the tie rods to be connected with one another.
  • the tie rods can be connected with one another or the tie rods can also be connected with the end plates by means of a clip.
  • clip elements have the advantage that they can be mounted afterwards at any locations, thus after the arrangement of the cell stack, and therefore individually.
  • tie rod as well as the end plate to be connected therewith comprises a thermoplastic material
  • the two components or also several tie rods among one another can be mutually connected also by heating the respective areas to be connected until the thermoplastic material has become soft and by a subsequent pressing against one another or pressing.
  • the heating can, for example, be carried out, by means of mirror welding using a heatable aluminum plate.
  • Such a plastic connection can be established in a simple manner and without any high technical expenditures and, after the hardening of the material, thus the cooling of the connected materials, provides a sufficiently stable connection of the components.
  • the production costs and the technical and logistical expenditures of the production of the energy storage module according to the invention are reduced even more.
